You have no idea. The Mauser was an inferior weapon.

Sources for that statement, please.

These quotes are from an official JSF press release:

'Citing lower costs, greater lethality and improved
supportability, The Boeing Company has selected the Advanced
27mm Aircraft Cannon for its next generation JSF combat
aircraft.....

The G-A role for the JSF probably influenced that, 27mm
beging more effective on ground targets.

Catch up, please. The BK was scrapped in favor of the GAU-12


The point was that the M61 was scrapped in favor of the BK27.


Regards...


The M-61 was not a contender for the JSF,


I thought it was.


the GAU-12 was
selected over the BK.


That the BK was selected over the GAU12 initially hardly
points to an inferior weapon.


Regards...
